Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors can require a variety of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even completely removing and replacing floors. The kind of restoration work will depend on the variety of the pre-existing floor. In older homes with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, renovation will typically entail repair and cleaning of the pre-existing floor as it will likely be an important feature of the property. In newer properties with carpet or real wood floors, renovation is more likely to require totally replacing the existing floors, either like for like with a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the method of renovation typically entails sanding the top layer of real wood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile floors can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles swapped, accompanied by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further problems or damage will typically require replacing the carpet. Specialist floor renovation companies can advise you of the best method to breathe new life into tired floors or bring old floors up to a high standard. Specialist tools could also be essential for repairing or replacing flooring.
